Confirming His Faith

Yesterday was Zack's confirmation. It was a very special day to see our oldest son make a public affirmation of the faith he received at his baptism. We had lots of family there to help us celebrate, which made it even more special. In fact, a few days before, Zack said that would be his favorite part. He wasn't looking forward to being in front of the congregation. (We told him that that's not anyone's favorite part of confirmation.) :o)
But he did a great job and we are so proud of the man that God is shaping him to be! We pray that he will seek after God's will for his life and continue to grow stronger in his faith all the time. It was also a good way to think about our faith and how we are continuing to grow and model it to the world around us.


After church a friend of ours came and catered a Mongolian Grill lunch for our family. It was lots of fun and there was TONS of food. We had so much left over that we had our final Family Nite of the year at our house and had it again. It was a great way to end the year but we were EXHAUSTED by the time everyone finally left a little after 11pm!
